SAMUELSEN SAYS BREWERS CAN PUT PRESSURE ON NOTTINGHAM FOREST

MARTIN Samuelsen believes that Burton Albion can get a good result against Nottingham Forest.

The 20-year-old also admits he has been pleasantly surprised by the welcoming nature of the Burton team.

The winger, who joined on-loan from West Ham United in January, reckons that the Brewers are playing out-of-form Forest at the right time and thinks that a Burton Albion win could put even more pressure on Aitor Karanka’s side.

He said: “I think that Nottingham Forest are starting to feel the fear (of the relegation battle) and it will shake them up a bit. I think that we can get a result against them.

“We are going to go out from the start trying to get a goal and win the game.

“I always thrive on playing against bigger teams and I like a challenge. Fulham did not go as I would have planned, neither did Reading. It was a good game against Ipswich and we will go again against Nottingham Forest.”

The Norwegian international might have only been with the Brewers for a matter of weeks, but he says that he has been welcomed into the squad with open arms.

He said: “I have really enjoyed myself in the first few weeks. I have been astonished by how welcoming everyone has been.
